We spent Easter weekend sprucing up our front and back yard landscaping. We spent this past weekend, cleaning up my square foot garden. As you can see, it needed some attention: Some of the 'weeds' in the picuture is the mint that I naively planted 10 years ago when we built my garden box. Now, I'm ready to plant.

Autumn is also the perfect time to plant shrubs, grind stumps and aerate your lawn. Plant Shrubs. Plant your shrubs in fall to ensure good root establishment. Rainfall pooling on grass means nutrients and water cannot reach plant roots. Use a garden fork to aerate a small yard. This site uses affiliate links.

Last year, I chronicled my box garden conversion from random planting to the more calculated method, known as Square Foot Gardening. I had great success, but at the end of the season, I vowed that in 2011, I was going to replace all of the dirt in my box with new soil following the Square Foot Gardening recipe for a soil mix.

Landscape with plants that have a low water requirement. Instead, the yard is landscaped with stones and various cacti. Then we can reuse the water to water our garden. Instead of letting that water go down the drain, he collects it in a bowl to water our garden. Plant our garden where it receives some shade.

Hang onto plants for winter greenery. Save your plants over the winter and avoid spending more money in spring. Plants in the house not only provide decoration but are also healthy. Use free plants to landscape. After the leaves dye down, dig up the bulbs and re-plant in the fall. Check the time.
